    Hi.
    I finally got delivery of my first Arduino Uno after delays on my NANOs which are originally intendend for a DIY Dash for my sim build.

    I have spent my entire afternoon trying to find a straight forward configuration and code for a basic Shift light, gear indicator and speedo to work with Richard Burns Rally and Game Dash.

    So here is what I want ultimately and I hope there is someone out there that can help me get this done. @yobuddy, @Archie, @eaorobbie

    1. I would like my TM1638 to only blink led 4-5 to indicate shifting point. (i have the model with only red LEDs)
    2. Gear indicator on left and speedo on right.

    I primarily race with Richard Burns Rally so I will need help with setting up GAMEDASH settings.

    Please help if you can.

    PS: I tried most of the sketches shared already in the forum but I cant seem to find much hlp on configuring GameDash to work with Richard burns rally specifically.

    I don't run GameDash but just wanted to verify that you have the correct version of RBR for the plugin and are looking for GameDash output for Gear, Speed and Rpm, as they are the only ones supported.

    Hi @noorbeast I am running RBR with RSRBR mod for 2015. I also downloaded the Simtools Plugin 2 weeks ago so i am assuming it is the current version. My RBR is patched (ver 1.02).
    I only Need RPM, Gear Indicator, Shift light and Speed.
    Also is it possible to have only led 4&5 blinking shift light or all of them blink for shift light?

    I also need a lot of help configuring Game Dash as it is my very first time using it and can't seem to find a comprehensive "how-to".

    I had the pb I remember.
    With RSBR, RBR must be started as administrator under win7 or 8.
    If you did that, then simtools had to run as administrator too to get the game values.
    Maybe it is your pb.
